Gibbs, Alexander
Alexander Gibbs was a British stained-glass maker active in the mid to late 19th century. Working from London, he established a workshop that produced ecclesiastical stained glass during a period of rapid church building and restoration in Victorian Britain. His firm contributed windows to parish churches and larger ecclesiastical commissions, often favouring clear figural presentation and conservative Gothic revival idioms.
Following Gibbs’s death in 1884, the business continued under the name Gibbs & Howard, preserving workshop practices and designs while adapting to later Victorian taste. As with many 19th-century studios, individual designers and craftsmen are rarely documented, and works are generally attributed to the firm rather than to named hands.
On the site, windows attributed to Alexander Gibbs may represent work executed during his lifetime or by his successors, reflecting the continuity of a Victorian stained-glass workshop rather than a single authorial style.
